What a nice picture of Leigh. His knowledge, sense of humor and just his great personality will be so missed. What a great loss. He was an amazing guy. Thinking of you all in this time of loss.
To Julie and Leigh’s families…our sincere thoughts, prayers and condolences are with you all.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of Leigh. I am a cousin of Leigh’s mother Donna Lou
I was very shocked to learn that Leigh had passed. It caused me to think about a lot of funny things that happened at Wahoo High School. Leigh was two years older than me, but we were in the tuba section together and he was always both very nice and very funny/mischievous!
My condolences to all of Leighs family
Leigh was a kick in the pants and I will miss him terribly. I was fortunate enough to have met him through work. I relied on his computer savviness and delighted in his sense of humor! I will miss those chats and his orneriness. I pray that the Good Lord comforts Julie and their family.
